"It's the little things in life." We have all heard the saying before. It's the little things that can add up to make us happy, or it's the little things that can add up to make us unhappy. And in the case of the law, it can be just a little thing that can lead to a criminal charge in Colorado.

And if people aren't careful, they can find themselves facing a DUI or being involved in an accident.

An accusation of committing a DUI is enough to entirely shock and scare a person. In one moment, someone is having what he thinks is a safe number of drinks with friends.

We've been tracking the Colorado sexual assault case against former Denver Bronco Perrish Cox for some time now, and the high-profile case has finally come to its end. In the most recent update about this case, we noted that a witness for the prosecution shared a supposed detail about the September night when the rape allegedly happened.

Drug crimes have changed compared to in the past. It's not always illegal substances such as marijuana and cocaine that are at the center of a possession or trafficking case. With the rise in prescription drug use in recent decades, there's been a rise in drug crimes related to prescription drugs.
